By DAVID BARLEY
Two seasons ago, Broadway
critics unanimously voted
Samuel Spewack's "Two Blind

ice." The University of San Fran-
sco was fortunate in securing the
-i-hts to the play and has already

being on the Government payroll.
When reporter Tom Thurston
(played by Don McLaughlin) discovers the situation he sees v.. opportunity for a big expose on the inefficiency of some Government officials. Thurston labels the office as
highly secretive and important to national security. He tricks the Army,
the Navy, the Marines, the Senate
and the White House into supporting
the abolished office. With the arrival
of Karen, Thurston's former wife,
and her fiance Tom finds himself in
a bit of a problem.
In the midst of great confusion
Letitia and Crystal blithely continue
their work. Since the sweet old
ladies are too honest to cash their
Government cheques they have found
it necessary to rent out portions of
the house in order to continue their
research. Certain complications arise
when military and government dig-
nataries arrive to find Letitia and
Crystal not only running the "lost
office" but also a dancing school, a
maternity ward, a glee club and a
parking lot. What started as a small
side show turns into the proverbial
three-ring circus.
A bit of quick thinking by Thurston saves the situation from becoming a national disaster.
Stuart Bennett, College Players'
director, told newsmen he was very
happy over the choice of shows. "The
play is excellent and the cast is hard
at work to do it justice. With Marge
Werby as Letitia, Dixie Shaw as
Crystal and Don McLaughlin as
Thurston, what better insurance
could I have? Outside of a few small
technical difficulties the situation is
well in hand. I have no doubt that
the show will be a top-notch production; however, its success wull de-

student body."
C. P. Prex Ed Hurley was also
optimistic about the first show of the
season: "In spite of small publicity
releases, student interest in "TWO
BLIND MICE" is already beginning
to mount. The large sale of the first
night passes came as a happy surprise. In fact, it has become necessary to have the show tickets go on
advanced sale in order to satisfy the
demand. Tickets for students and
general public will go on sale the
end of this month. Season passes can
be obtained from members of the
Players and Club presidents."

2r.d Lecture of
Series Given
The second lecture in the series on
Communism was given this week by
Fr. Raymond T. Feeley, S. J., to a
very large and appreciative audience.
It concerned the communistic theory
of state, their concept of violence, the
Marxian theory of value, and the influence of Communism.
Communism is a totalitarian state.
All the rights, both civil and political,
according to the Stalinists, originate
from, and can be modified only by the
state, because the state is the originator of these rights. In this concept,
the Soviets are placed in the same
class as naziism and fascism.
The theory of natural rights opposes the totalitarian view. This
theory believes that the individual by
reason of his nature has certain
rights. These rights are possessed
also by the family and civil society,
and the latter is bound to protect the
interests of the other two.
The Marxian theory of value is
concerned only with the exchange
value. The value of an object is determined by the amount of labor
necessary to create it. If a laborer
produces an article worth ten dollars
and he receives a wage of only seven
dollars, the Marxists ask what has
happened to th? other three. This
three dollars, the Communists say,
belongs to the laborer but is stolen
by the capitalists.
The Stalinist program has as its
basis physical violence. The dictatorship of the proletariat cannot be
formed until a revolution by force
has occurred. Stalin states, "Dictatorship means unlimited resting on
violence and not on law." The state
must also use violence in order to
subjugate the proletariat if necessary.
Stalinism has had a great influence
upon the world. It has captivated
many intelligent people and encompassed numerous nations. It has created friction in governments and resulted in the death of many of our
boys. As a Marine captain so aptly
put it, when are the people of the
United States going to realize that
the real enemy in Korea is Stalin?
The lecture terminated with a
question forum which covered many
phases of communistic endeavor.
Fr. Peter Dunne
In Forum
"The Inquisition was a civil evil, as
well as an ecclesiastical evil." So
stated Rev. Peter M. Dunne, S. J., in
last week's Discussion Forum. In illustrating the other side of the question, Fr. Dunne pointed out that the
Inquisition served its purpose partly,
but its methods have given the
Church an unsavory reputation
among persons who do not think
clearly and make the proper distinctions. He further said that the Spanish Inquisition was run not by the
Pope as were the other Inquisitions,
but by the King of Spain, who used
it as an instrument for rounding out
his absolutism. King Philip II of
Spain went so far as to have Car-
ranza, the Primate of Spain, thrown
in prison for not agreeing with his
methods of punishment.
The Pope regretted granting powers, almost unrestricted, to Philip II.
In principle the Inquisition was
sound. In the Middle Ages it was
used to combat heretical teachings.
The people and the kings insisted that
harsh punishment, even the death
penalty, should be meted out to the
heretics.
Fr. Dunne ended his talk with this
observation that the Inquisition is a
"dead letter no longer in use."
Next week's speaker will be announced later.
Club Week
Plans Made
Hundreds of Alumni Returning
By HARRY WENDT
Preparations for Club Week, November 5 to 9, continue to move forward under the direction of Roy
Vallarino, Chairman of the President's Council. In an effort to enlist
student support, Mr. Vallarino has
set down the objectives of this all-
important project, as well as the advantages to be gained by the students, both now and after graduation.
Club Week has been planned in
order to acquaint members of the
student body with the aims of the
various clubs at first hand, and to
stimulate interest to such an extent,
that the student will join and work
for that club which will best further
his aims. With such an attitude present, the individual student will be
benefitted, as will the entire student
body of the University.
These organizations contribute
materially to both the academic and
social activities of its members. The
former aspect is taken care of by the
engaging of guest speakers who, during the regular club meetings, discuss topics of interest to the members. The social side of the activities is accomplished by the sponsoring of regular dances, as the Delta
Sigma Pi Fraternity did last Saturday night, as well as other gatherings.
Then too, contacts are enhanced
and strengthened between present
students, and members of the alumni.
Naturally, an alumnus is always interested in seeing the progress which
a school organization of which he
was formerly a member has made
since his graduation, and for that
reason all displays will be open for
public inspection on Homecoming
week end. This will also give present
members an opportunity to meet
former members, to talk to them, and
to find out something of the alumni
organizations, patterned after these
school clubs, in which one can continue and further his interests, even
after graduation.
Many times, Vallarino stressed the
idea, that the need for members in
the various clubs is great, and that
all students are eligible whether they
be Freshmen just starting upon their
college work, or Seniors who will
graduate in June. Let's look over the
situation, consider the benefits offered, and then cooperate with that
spirit which is a very part of USF.
Great Books
For USF
A Great Books Discussion Group
will be inaugurated on the campus, it
was announced today. The group
will first meet on Thursday evening,
October 25, in the Seminar Room of
the Gleeson Library. Meetings will
then be held every second Thursday
of the month in the same place. Co-
leaders of the group are Fr. Daniel
McGloin, S. J., head of the Department of Philosophy, and Fr. Arthur
Falvey, S. J., professor of sociology.
Prayers for
Archbishop
In honor of Archbishop Mitty's
Silver Anniversary commemorating
his twenty-fifth year as a bishop, the
National Federation of Catholic College Students, Bay Area Chapter,
will present His Excellency a spiritual bouquet. USF student body officers, under the direction of NFCCS
Senior Delegate Sherman Hall will
pass out Spiritual Bouquet forms on
Tuesday, October 23, during Religion
classes.
From All Over State to Attend
Greatest Don Event in History
Pictured above is the main ballroom of the exclusive Tanforan Turf Club
at San Bruno, California, where hundreds of Don alumni and undergrads
will gather on Saturday evening, November 3 for the 1951 Homecoming
Dance. The locale for the 1951 Homecoming bids far to be the most
colorful spot yet chosen by alumni for this annual outstanding affair.
Capt. Meranski
New RO Prof
Col. Guy H. Stubbs announced today that Capt. M. Meranski has just
been assigned to the USF R.O.T.C.
staff as an instructor in automatic
weapons. Capt. Meranski replaces
CAPT. MERANSKI
Capt. John L. Stripling, who is now
at Fort Bliss, Texas, preparing for a
Far West assignment.
Capt. Meranski attended the Wor-
chester Polytechnic Institute in Wor-
chester, Mass. A veteran of seven
years' military service, he has just
returned from Korea, where he
served with the 7th Infantry Div. in
the 15th AAA-AW Bn. Previous
assignments in England, France and
Germany total more than thirty-six
months.
Among the decorations worn by
him are the French "Croix de
Guerre," Purple Heart (with two
clusters), Bronze Star Medal (with
two clusters), the Silver Star, and the
Distinguished Unit Citation.
While on duty at USF, the Captain and his wife, Betty, will make
their home in Daly City.

Opening Date
Is November 1
The greatest four-day celebration in USF alumni Homecoming history will be held the
first week-end of November,
commencing on Thursday, November 1, and carrying through until
Sunday, November 4.
Hundreds of University alumni
from the San Francisco Bay Area
and from all corners of the State will
take an active part in many of the
events scheduled both on and off the
campus in this the 1951 Homecoming. Hundreds of others are slated
to make their first return to the campus in over a decade.
Under the general chairmanship
of William H. Muller, '38, many
history-making innovations have
been planned for the gala week-end.
For the first time in the history of
Don homecomings, individual class
reunions and luncheons on the campus have been added to the program,
with ten special class groups singled
out for this highlight of homecoming. Classes so honored in this innovation are all classes up to 1905,
classes 1913-1914, and classes 1918,
1922, 1923, 1930, 1931, 1939, 1940, and
1951.
One of the top features of the
week-end will be the annua! Homecoming Dance to be held this year at
the spacious and exclusive Tanforan
Turf Club on the San Francisco Peninsula. Slated for Saturday evening,
November 3, the dance will be a
jointly sponsored affair with the
Associated Students of the University.
Focal point and climax of the
week-end is the traditional USF-
Santa Clara grid game to be played
in Kezar Stadium on Sunday, November 4.
Interspersed during the course of
the four-day program will be many
other events of especial note such as
regional meetings on Saturday of
both the USF Law Society and USF
Alumni Clubs of California. These
business sessions will be held in conference rooms of the new Richard A.

Opening Date
Is November 1
The greatest four-day celebration in USF alumni Homecoming history will be held the
first week-end of November,
commencing on Thursday, November 1, and carrying through until
Sunday, November 4.
Hundreds of University alumni
from the San Francisco Bay Area
and from all corners of the State will
take an active part in many of the
events scheduled both on and off the
campus in this the 1951 Homecoming. Hundreds of others are slated
to make their first return to the campus in over a decade.
Under the general chairmanship
of William H. Muller, '38, many
history-making innovations have
been planned for the gala week-end.
For the first time in the history of
Don homecomings, individual class
reunions and luncheons on the campus have been added to the program,
with ten special class groups singled
out for this highlight of homecoming. Classes so honored in this innovation are all classes up to 1905,
classes 1913-1914, and classes 1918,
1922, 1923, 1930, 1931, 1939, 1940, and
1951.
One of the top features of the
week-end will be the annua! Homecoming Dance to be held this year at
the spacious and exclusive Tanforan
Turf Club on the San Francisco Peninsula. Slated for Saturday evening,
November 3, the dance will be a
jointly sponsored affair with the
Associated Students of the University.
Focal point and climax of the
week-end is the traditional USF-
Santa Clara grid game to be played
in Kezar Stadium on Sunday, November 4.
Interspersed during the course of
the four-day program will be many
other events of especial note such as
regional meetings on Saturday of
both the USF Law Society and USF
Alumni Clubs of California. These
business sessions will be held in conference rooms of the new Richard A.
